All versions of mint like rich soil and the roots run under- ground to send up numerous shoots. The best way to contain a mint plant from spreading too far and choking the roots of neighboring plants is to place it in a pot and sink this either into the ground or a window box. Mint should be cut back every time fresh shoots appear, and if the plant becomes too dense new plants may be started from shoots. Even though mint is always at its best when used fresh, the leaves may be dried or frozen.
